So, I believe this won't work right, since the local storage path seems to be a page group setting in WebCore, not a per-Page setting. At the moment we do not have public API to set the page group for webviews, as well. I believe the only way to separate settings at the moment is by prefixing their key names, which is quite sucky.

How this could be made to work:

* Add API to create webview in a different page group, should be pretty simple to do, but we'd have to look into how to best model the page group in our public API - I think using a string property that gets a name should be quite enough for starters
* Move settings that are page group related to a new settings object that would be tied to a given page group instead of being per-webview

Adding Martin and Carlos to the CC since we may want to consider this for the wk2 API.
